Only one thing I've ever lost overboard: My bro-in-law and I went out on a charter boat. He realized that he had forgotten his rod & reel, and since I had an extra one with me he borrowed it. Brand new, never been fished before. (Masters rod with a Diawa 50H reel on it)
So we're standing on the stern with several other people drifting chunks for Blues.. and a guy on the opposite side of the stern gets a bite and the fish goes crazy...running back and forth, fouling everyone's line. Stupid Mate grabs the line, and instead of cutting it he gives it a hell of a yank... and of course he pulled my brand new rod and reel out of my bro-in-laws arms just as he was lighting a cigar and not really holding onto the rod. We watched it float out back of the boat and go down to Davy Jones as a gift.

About one year ago
I was in a little 15' open style boat fiberglass with a 18 hp Nissan tiller. couple of my buddies and my step son wanted to go fishing. so I pulled a little sun fish sailboat (with no mast) I had, so the 4 of us could go out in the everglades. one of my buddies decided to stand up to piss off the side of the sun fish. well It flipped gators just yards away. my 15 year old stepson literally walked on water to get in the other boat scared WHITE, while my buddy tried to gather items and flip boat back over.
long story short we lost: 2 rods and reels (Wal-Mart) $60 2 allium oars that i thought would float $50 18 bottles of bud light (i saved gps coordinates) $13 1 brand new zippo $45 And my step sons dignity $priceless
